And I can't find my way around your face
And I can't find my way around your body
And wasted days turn into wasted nights
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
Lookit me now!
The future isn't quite what you imagined
Ev'rything you valued has been sold
And ev'ry heart that takes a chance is broken
Now I don't see you laughin' at us no more
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now!
Hey look at you now now now now now now!
Look at you now!
Green grass grows around the backyard shithouse
And that is where the sweetest flowers bloom
We are flowers growin' in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now!
Hey look at us now now now now now now!
Look at us now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now!
Hey lookit me now now now now now now!
Lookit me now!
I love the people who thumb down comments like this.
Byrne himself says that he is on the autism spectrum. He says it's a superpower, and I agree, both for him and for the many people I know on that spectrum.
Aren’t we all on the autism spectrum? I just happen to be on the “almost none” end.
He is probably somewhere on the Autism scale!

I guess I'm one of the few wierdos on here that actually likes David Byrne/Talking Heads, B-52's, et al sound. I can deal with that. I like the hook on this one.
I Agree! You are NOT alone! ...that is why you get invited to all of the parties!
I.m.o. there's too much David Byrne an Talking Heads played on RP.
The songs themselves are ok but they're overplayed...
William disagrees but thoughtfully provided other music between David Byrne's songs.

DB was killing it on this tour in 1992 or 1993. He did not sell out SPAC, which allowed us to get great seats. Everyone was up and dancing. I love this song.
Agreed! I saw him at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank, NJ in 1992 (a show that was filmed but never made it to DVD). I loved the name of his backing band: The Ten Car Pileup. They were fantastic!

I think there are a lot more of us than you think
I think that we can all agree that DB dances to the beat of his own drummer; good, bad or indifferent, I don't know. But he certainly hears some weird ass voices in his head.

I disagree - I think he's done a lot of good work, and I'd also say he's one of the best performers I've ever seen (even though his work is not in my top favorites). He's prolific and always at least interesting.
I suggest you check out the movie American Utopia and see if you feel the same way.
A psyched up wobble board?
Not yet...
When someone like Plant is pairing up with the likes of Allison Krauss, who needs salsa?!!? And, if he so chose, he could likely do it with his eyes closed!! IMHO, Sir Plant could probably do whatever he wishes, in the music biz, in ANY genre!! He's one of the best of the best.
Given the manure wagon of a year that is 2020, we d*** well better have some pretty f***ing amazing flowers come 2021...
I have always liked most output from those artists; this tune...not so much.
Really? You better get your hearing checked. Plant doesn't do salsa.
Not yet...
I agree, but with this mess he crossed that fine line to the other side
Yet, I do not think it is THAT bad, I heard worse from others! I quite like it, it has this singalong quality about it!
Is this a joke? Or just a syncopation of the Birdie Song?
David Byrne is quirky, sometimes a genius, frequently thought-provoking, but for me this is an embarrassing mess. What am I missing?
what are you missing?
nothing, you got it
Byrne is music's bad magician
I'm looking, so I'm surprised.
(Ignorance is a bliss?)
yes precisely

I feel Rei Momo more stylistically. His consistent embrace of the absurd lyrically,coupled with musical experimentation make it easy to understand why not everyone catches his brilliant spark.
Interestingly, his rather active journal on DavidByrne.com is very lucid, frequently interesting and explores some heavy themes with refreshing intellectual openness. If the music relishes not making sense, the journal is the 'sensible' counterpoint.
But then, you probably knew that.
Well, no. But while this is a fun song, a better singer would vastly improve it.
I used to love the TH. But I get tired of David Byrnes as Yodeling World Music Tourist.
We don't dance BUT we be dancin' NOW NOW NA NA NA NA NA NOW !!
Oh, wait - lemme guess. You have a starched white shirt, pressed pants, and no sense of humor. And I really hope you're not in a cubicle, too. Gee - kinda sorry for you, but I just KNOW there's an Iggy Pop in you somewhere.
I'm teasing. Not all of David Byrne's stuff is easy on the ears, but it almost always demands to be heard. Your single-mindedness regarding Byrne is intriguing. 'Scuse me while I go see what you think is worthy of airplay...
I need some drinks!!!
Yes oh yes - Happy Friday!
Guess I'll be back in 5 minutes.....
Take your time.
Ditto
Coffee time!

That's a HUGE 10-4, Gednabb.
